About

My name is Ashlee and I am the owner and creator of Wylde Ivy.  I have a passion for scents, a love of color and texture, and a deep desire to create and capture all things unique and wonderful. I began making my own soaps in 2005 when I owned and operated two hair boutiques.  As the owner and purchaser for the salons, I became quite schooled in hair and skin care needs and ingredients.  I had a deep personal love affair with a particular bar soap that I purchased through one of my suppliers.  One day that soap was discontinued.  I went into an obsessed, caffeine fueled mission to find a replacement.  Through all my shopping and research, a crazy little idea sparked to life in the back of my mind..."you can do this".  So with mad obsession fueling me, I was soon consumed by soap making books and online research and neck deep in bars of soap....my soap.

Soon, my husband and I and our family and friends had more soap then we'd be able to use in a lifetime. With prodding from my salon customers, the first few bars of my soap were placed on the shelf for sale.  They were gone in a day.  More took their place and more, and more.  To my astonishment, the soap was selling.  My soaps needed company of the shelves.  Nothing goes with soap better then lotion.  Soon I was developing more body products like creams and lotions and even a hair care line (of coarse!).  

A year later, I constructed a very basic website with the help of the "HTML Programming for Beginners" book I stole from my husband.  The only intent of that website was for my current customers to keep in touch and see what was currently available.  Imagine my shock when orders started pouring in from not just all over the United States but the whole world.  I just couldn't keep up with the demand, at least not working in the salon full time.  I made the bittersweet decision to close my salon doors, shut my eyes, and leap into the soap making biz letting Wylde Ivy take me where it may.  Here I am, over ten years later and I wouldn't change a thing!

I love soap.  Soap started all of this for me.  I will always love soap.  There is something so humble yet so extraordinary about a bar of handmade soap.  My story doesn't stop with soap though.  My story involves perfume too.   It was shortly after committing to Wylde Ivy full time that I (again with the prodding of my customers) released my first line of perfumes.  It was a simple line of perfumes, nothing more then copies of my soap scents.  I was adding new soaps all the time, creating many limited edition batches.  My library of raw fragrances used in the creation of soaps and lotions grew and grew.  I was surround by scents.  Every kind of scent imaginable.  I started experimenting, blending this with that.  New fragrances were born, my fragrances.  For me, creating scents was like creating visions or dreams.  I could create a scent that reminded me of summers spent laying the grass and cloud gazing when I was a child or of the feeling stepping into a cool, fresh, spring rain.  I fell truly, madly, and deeply in love...again.

Beyond Wylde Ivy, when I'm not daydreaming up new scents and soaps, I'm trying to keep up with my twin daughters and laughing with my husband, running around with my crazy dog, hiking in the Appalachian Mountains surround our home, and taking photographs.  I love traveling and car trips, hiking and the outdoors, watching fish swim, the ocean, and anything that grows.  

I'm always looking for new visions to turn into perfumes.

Love the products! Customer service is 100!

Above and Beyond!!

Ashlee went above and beyond in this most recent order! Not only did she so graciously fulfill my odd request for a different bottle shape, but she also included a lovely little free gift in my favorite scent—The Moon Never Beams. Her work is genuinely amazing, and the packaging is SO thoughtful. Thanks, Ashlee!

In love with Melancholy

Another brilliant fragrance from Ashlee. She does not disappoint.

Absolutely love this scent. Reminds me of another favorite, Pink Amber Sunset. Smells like sunkissed skin.

Best perfume

Love all the scents but really love the one.It is beautiful and I get so many compliments when I wear it.It makes me feel special

I dont care for it.

From the ad I thought it would a have a fragrance of being at the sea side. It really has no fragrance at all. I personally feel it was a complete waste of money. Oh and by the way, I live at the shore so that fresh sea breeze and the beach is a smell i know well.

I absolutely love this set. Each individual scent is wonderful in its own way. As expected, they don't seem to last all day so I either reapply or enjoy a more subtle scent as the day goes on. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future. The packaging is perfection and the generous bonus gifts were a lovely touch. All in all I am vey pleased with this purchase.

Smells incredible, nice floral lavender notes and edible gourmand vanilla on top. So good!

This is the most delightful fall/halloween scent- I got a sample of it last year, and haven't stopped thinking about it since so I had to buy it.

It reminds me very specifically of opening the tubs of my aunt's halloween decorations in her garage when I'm going to put them up- spicy, autumnal, and inexplicably like treasured memories of making glittery foam magnets with too many eyes and the word BOO! stuck to little white ghosts with my cousins while watching Hocus Pocus. Im absolutely delighted

I have bought the perfume in this same scent previously and it's one of my favorite scents ever. My husband loves it, too! It is definitely a sexy scent. This oil was perfect. It soaked into my skin quickly and left my skin so soft. Highly recommend!

This is one of the best perfumes I've ever smelled. It definitely leans more masculine, but is still very unisex. Dark femme vibes. It reminds me of coffee and rum sitting beside a fireplace

I was looking for a new Wylde Ivy scent for the summer, so I decided to try this collection. Mystis reminds me of my summer favorite Pink Amber Sunset. Smells like sun-kissed skin. The others are beautiful, too. I also received a sample of Candied Orchid which I never would've tried on my own but also loved. Now it's just a matter of deciding on which to go with for the full bottle!

Lovely scent. Honestly, can't think of a better way to describe the scent other than the description. Also the longevity is quite long - especially on skin.

Lovely scent. Description is accurate for the scent notes and profile. Also, very high quality materials used. The rollerball glides like butter

Perfect name

Pink Petal Sugarcube is spot on. Beautiful, sweet raspberry hard candy floating on a soft floral waft of spring. It pairs perfectly with the body butter and lasted all day. 12 hours later I can still catch a hint of it. Perfect for warm weather fruity floral.

This smells incredible. I will be purchasing this again!

This is a wonderful cologne/parfum: a very relaxing and warm top note of bergamot that conjures for me a gentle masculine smell of another era. It is exactly as described and is a true tribute to Poe. I am so pleased and think this will become my new daily scent. In the meanwhile, I will explore other creations from the shop!
